Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Post allergen details at base
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with ordering in, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station

- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
