What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Travel to Boundstone
- Crockery choices
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’re paying for.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
