What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan staff can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
China crockery is available for client events.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, depending on the crockery and menu.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a staff lunch in Lower Kingswood, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

- We clear up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
