Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
