How we price a hog roast for your team
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Travel to Thorney Island
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A contact on site
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard

We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Southbourne station, about 1.8 miles north-east, is the nearest station. Within reach of Thorney Island are historic houses such as Warblington Castle (2.1 miles north-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for caterers. The coast is within about 4 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
For staff events in PO10, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean a staff event in a garden on Hunter Road, Emsworth Road and Spartan Close or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Thorney Island, we also cover West Thorney (1 mile south-east), North Hayling (1 mile west), Tye (1 mile south-west), Northney (1 mile west) and Emsworth (2 miles north).
