What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it is dark in Maplehurst by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
