How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September shoots near Headley lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
