Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Easton hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for

About the food

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork

Questions from Easton
Can you cater after a service at St. Agnes' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Easton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you cover Easton?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
Easton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
