What a hog roast costs

- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Because the roast starts early, and in December Three Bridges is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
