Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
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.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, daylight in Yaverland lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Yaverland: your questions answered

Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Yaverland?
Brading station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
