Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved to order by a chef

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- A photo of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: use our quote form.

Questions from Bouldnor
Is Bouldnor too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Swithin (old): can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is mains power needed?

Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
