What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through 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. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer shoots near Denton have light until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
