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:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Time on site
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Lenham Forstal
Do you come out to small places like Lenham Forstal?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
