Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Charney Bassett have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.

Planning help
For event organisers in Charney Bassett
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A safe distance from other traders
- Your trader requirements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
