What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Sign-off from the location
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
As a London location, Hackbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Hackbridge ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
