Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
