Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. 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 you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- An itemised quote
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Read our prices page and the cost guide.

Should I cook it myself?
