How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO18 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. 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 do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan staff can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Daytime open days in Midanbury are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
