Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Brenzett
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
