What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
