Planners, venues and businesses

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a hog roast for your team
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
