- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us who does not eat pork
Name a contact for the day, typically locations or the production office.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
