How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. 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, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew

For event organisers in Cowesfield Gate
