What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in West Hackney, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Questions from West Hackney
What if our house in West Hackney has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to West Hackney?
West Hackney has its own station: Rectory Road station.
How do you handle allergies?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
