Should I cook it myself?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO20 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Common questions in Somerley
Is Somerley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Somerley?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can it be more formal?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Do you come to Somerley?

Can you set up in our car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, as long as it is outdoors.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Somerley are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your staff
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
