How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We serve quickly on the call.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A contact in production
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Flat ground at the unit base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Long Sutton
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-September shoots near Long Sutton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- 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 roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: fill in our quote form.
