Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or GU24 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Pirbright ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
