What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Pearson's Green
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
FAQs for Pearson's Green
Is Pearson's Green close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you serve on plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
