Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Space for people to queue
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What affects the price in Cooling Street
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
