Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
