What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. On a winter shoot near Chinbrook, 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.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- 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 pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Sides make a proper lunch.
