A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with ordering in, we are already there when lunch is called. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

- Allergies we should know about

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Aspley Heath, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
