How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

What affects the price in Boarhunt
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Light by the serving table
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
