Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- Any dietary needs or allergies

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Potters Corner
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
Do you cover Potters Corner?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Potters Corner and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, depending on the crockery and menu.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
