How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September events in Bishopstone lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
