What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September shoots near West Bedfont lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
