How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Swinford questions
Which station is closest to Swinford?
The closest is Hanborough station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Is Swinford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you cover Swinford?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Open days in Swinford normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
