What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Questions from Whiteleaf
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Dunstan: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue and we will reply promptly.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater in Whiteleaf?
