Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
