How we price a hog roast for your team
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We will sign in and follow site rules.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
