Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About our corporate hog roast in Rock-a-Nore

What else we do in Rock-a-Nore
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN34 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
