What affects the price in Stoke Lyne
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why Stoke Lyne hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label alternatives clearly
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
