The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
How we price a hog roast for your team
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
