What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Share the allergen list with the crew
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask about china.
