Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
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.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
