Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.

How does payment work for businesses?
Send your requirements, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.

We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- A named contact for the day
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it’s for clients, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
