How we price a hog roast for your team
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.

Downham questions
Can you do a hog roast in Downham Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Downham?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What will our facilities team need?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can a company book?
Get in touch with your details, and we will set out the terms with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Planning for dietary needs
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. 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.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
Downham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
