What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In winter, it is dark in West Twyford by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
