A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Travel to Sheet Hill
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
