How we price a hog roast for your team
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
