How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Travel to Cocking
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Cocking: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Cocking close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much room do you need?
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.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Cocking lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Getting a price

We carve to order through the agreed hours.
