What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Barnsbury questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Barnsbury?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What’s the nearest station to Barnsbury?
Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, in Barnsbury itself.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
