Ockley: your questions answered

How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, given level ground and clearance.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Lunchtime bookings in Ockley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
