What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Common questions in South Ham
How far is South Ham from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to South Ham?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
