For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
