For event organisers in Boughton Green
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
