What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A contact on site
- Shelter for the team
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
