What affects the price in Cliffs End
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

How far is Cliffs End from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
