What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Cogges are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Plates or china
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
