What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Questions from Clapper Hill
Could you cook in Wattle Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Clapper Hill?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an autumn event in Clapper Hill, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
