About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices

For planners, venues and organisers

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
