What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A friend or relative we can call
- A hall or room for eating
- Space away from the building and any trees
Barton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process

- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day

At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with family members cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
