What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. On a winter shoot near Byfleet, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your crew
