What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: fill in our quote form.
Step by step
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. In December, daylight in Whitegrove ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
