What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Bentley is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early

Bentley questions
Is Bentley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Bentley from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.

What else we do in Bentley
For event organisers in Bentley
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
