Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RG28 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. In Freefolk, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
