A hog roast compared with other options
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
