What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to West End
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in West End
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level spot at base for the roaster

- A contact in production
West End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose a hog roast in West End?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

Questions from West End
What if our house in West End has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By late September, sunset near West End is about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.
