Prices and what affects them

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By about 3:55pm in late December, Walton-on-Thames is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Clearance from walls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
- Roast turkey
- Hog roast rolls

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Questions from Walton-on-Thames
What’s the nearest station to Walton-on-Thames?
Walton-On-Thames station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
