A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why St Helens hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
Send us the date, the address or PO33 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a staff lunch in St Helens, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can a company book?
