What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in New Cross ends around 3:55pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
Ask for a quote

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Where the roaster can go in New Cross

- Flat ground at the unit base
New Cross 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
