Book a hog roast in Lindford
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In December, daylight in Lindford ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
