Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Shelter for the team
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
For somewhere as remote as Puckpool, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Puckpool
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Puckpool?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
