What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

The process

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request thin slices
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We clear away quietly.
Serving on plates is often easier.
Where the roaster can go in Winton
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- Away from opening windows

Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Winton
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What allergens are in the food?
Every dish comes with allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
