Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

How we price a hog roast for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a staff lunch in Sandhills, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
