Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, daylight in Huntercombe lasts until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Give us one contact in production.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Approval from locations
- A level area at base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
