What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Brightwalton
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late-September events in Brightwalton lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
