What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Common questions in Cookley Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?

How far is Cookley Green from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.

Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
Do we need to provide electricity?

Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
