A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
See our pricing or the cost guide.

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
