What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Travel to Chavey Down
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
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.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Chavey Down, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
