What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Tyringham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Tyringham?
Wolverton station, about 4.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Tyringham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Generally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, daylight in Tyringham lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
