How we price a hog roast for the crew
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Kennington ends around 3:55pm.

A hog roast or other catering?
