How we price a hog roast for your team
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Common questions in Blue Town
What’s the nearest station to Blue Town?
Blue Town has its own station: Sheerness-On-Sea station.
Can you do a hog roast in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What will our facilities team need?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
