What affects the price in Chelwood Gate
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
