What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Sydenham hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Sydenham are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
