Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Common questions in Funtley
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Funtley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can a company book?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will explain the booking terms.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What affects the price in Funtley
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
