Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Halnaker
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote

Take a look at our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Halnaker is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
