A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. 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. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
