Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Walderton, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
