What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast starts early, and in December Weston is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: 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
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
