What affects the price in Small Dole
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Small Dole
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Daytime open days in Small Dole are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
