How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Totland
Can you roast near the sea around Totland?

Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
