How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Hog roast for events in Erith, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We’re often asked to cater food and music festivals and vintage rallies, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In Erith, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces typically need council permission, and we need a pitch we can reach. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
For event organisers in Erith
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, events in Erith stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
