How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Travel to Creekmouth
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive

FAQs for Creekmouth

Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Creekmouth?

Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
