What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: fill in our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Planned to your running order

Common questions in Woodside
What if our house in Woodside has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you work to set times?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Do you come to Woodside?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Woodside and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. On a winter shoot near Woodside, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A contact in production
- Vehicle access to base
- Approval from locations
As a London location, Woodside is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
