About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
How we price a hog roast for your team
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- 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.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A contact on site
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in The Platt
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
