How we price a hog roast for the crew
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

We cater all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We cater events right across the region, from St Lawrence to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
