A hog roast near Boarshead
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a staff lunch in Boarshead, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

How we price a hog roast for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
