What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
