How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Common questions in Hulverstone
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Hulverstone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
Name a contact for the day, usually locations or the production office.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
