Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
