What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

At country workplaces around Ware, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Open days in Ware typically finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your staff

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
