What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. After-work summer events in Sandy Cross have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
