How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, events in East Grinstead stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
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.
