How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Ask about china.
