Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

Read our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

Things that change the price:
- Travel to Newtown
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Daytime open days in Newtown are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
