What affects the price in Henwood
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Henwood hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. In December, daylight in Henwood ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
