How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
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.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

What else we do in Minster
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some crew will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Wrap parties can run into the evening, tell us about lighting at base.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
