How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
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, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
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.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
