How we price a hog roast for your team
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Lunchtime bookings in Fair Cross are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

What else we do in Fair Cross
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it’s for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
