What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Chipstead hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer events in Chipstead have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
