What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A hall or room for eating
- One contact on the day
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Maidenhead
Can you cater after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Braywick Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
