Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your Christmas party. A lunchtime Christmas party in Westmeston is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Getting a price

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Label alternatives clearly
- Share the allergen information in advance
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
China crockery is available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
