How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
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.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Hog roast for events in Addington, slow-roasted on site
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for car and steam shows and horse and dog shows.
Rural events near Addington can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level pitch
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Addington are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
