How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot

UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

Questions from Sharpthorne
Is Sharpthorne too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Sharpthorne close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can it be more formal?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
