Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Questions from Leysdown-on-Sea
Is Leysdown-on-Sea too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Leysdown-on-Sea from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Organising for someone else?
