What affects the price in Queen's Bower
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Send us the date, the address or PO36 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset near Queen's Bower is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

Do you come out to small places like Queen's Bower?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
