What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Beenham Stocks
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
