Slow-roasted pork in Farnborough
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A covered eating area
- A contact in production
Farnborough is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
