If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. On a winter shoot near Wavendon, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
