Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Shipley Bridge
Is Shipley Bridge too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Worth Park Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Shipley Bridge?

- A choice of salads and potatoes

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
