- Post allergen details at base
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.

- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

We do. Tell us the date and location.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
