Why choose a hog roast in Lovedean?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
