How we price a hog roast for your team
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Labour-in-vain
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- 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 makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken for a more polished feel. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us a contact on site for the day.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
