What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Travel to Rusthall

- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

To get the best quote, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like

Send us the date, the address or TN4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In summer, Rusthall has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
