How we price a hog roast for the crew
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Lidsey ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
