DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What affects the price in Boughton under Blean
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For an autumn event in Boughton under Blean, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
Getting a price
