How we price a hog roast for your team
The biggest factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a staff lunch in Horney Common, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
