- 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 up and leave the base tidy.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A route for our vehicle
- Approval from locations
- A level spot at base for the roaster
New Barnet is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
