What affects the price in Alton
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a staff lunch in Alton, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
