What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
