Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- A picture of the cooking area
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A firm way on and off the field
- Space for people to queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
