Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- All the equipment comes with us
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Drellingore is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day

- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
