A hog roast near Bloodden
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: use our quote form.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Why choose a hog roast in Bloodden?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
