Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
