What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Yattendon lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Label the alternatives clearly
Name a contact for the day, typically locations or the production office.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
