Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What affects the price in St Mary Cray
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
