Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Lunchtime bookings in Cross Gate are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Parham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.

Can a company book?
Contact us with your details, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
