How we price a hog roast for your team
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Travel to Afton
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices

Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A contact on site
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
For somewhere as remote as Afton, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Afton questions
Do you come out to small places like Afton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
For event organisers in Afton
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Daytime open days in Afton are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 4:05pm.
