What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
