What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.

Common questions in Houghton
Could you cook in Arundel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Houghton?
Amberley station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
