Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
