How we price a hog roast for your team
Your quote depends on:
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Here’s what we will ask:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Access through the site gates
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
