About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
Send us the date, the address or SP11 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Upper Chute ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
