About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Boldre hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
