What catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
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. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Access wide enough for our equipment
Finsbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
