What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Sign-off for outside caterers
Upper Ruxley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
