What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

FAQs for Roedean
Can you do a hog roast in Whitehawk Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Chicken can be added.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Seating for residents
- Sign-off from management
