Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December East Hampnett is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
