How we price a hog roast for your team
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
