The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Because the roast starts early, and in December Broyle Side is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
