Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Is Sutton-under-Brailes too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at St Thomas a Becket Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
