What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. On a winter shoot near Charlton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Charlton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Charlton?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Charlton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
For event organisers in Charlton
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
