What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, daylight in Chicheley ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Questions from Chicheley
Do you come out to small places like Chicheley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Chicheley close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
