How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
