How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or RG20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening staff events in East Ilsley need light after sunset: about 9:25pm in June, 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
