What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for

- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
