What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Goring
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers

For event organisers in Goring
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Looking after everyone
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
