Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset near Snow Hill is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, 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
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
