How we price a hog roast for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A named contact for the day
Whitwell is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Whitwell
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Whitwell too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we will respond.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
What about family fun days?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your staff event in Whitwell. For a staff lunch in Whitwell, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
