Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Penge
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
