What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Danesfield, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Danesfield: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Danesfield?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Is Danesfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Danesfield
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
A hog roast or other catering?
