About the food

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or CT13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
