What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
