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
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Approval from the landlord or committee

Questions from Weddington
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Weddington?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
