Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally 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.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Upper Norwood
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Upper Norwood?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Long Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What about a wrap party?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Post allergen details at base
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve quickly on the call.
Sides make a proper lunch.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
