The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with family members cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
