What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Windmill Hill
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A spot that keeps access clear
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Roast pork, carved
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- New potatoes
