How we price a hog roast for your team
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Someone to meet us at reception
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For a staff lunch in Balls Cross, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
