What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
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.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
FAQs for Fish Island
What’s the nearest station to Fish Island?
Hackney Wick station, in Fish Island itself.
Could you cook in Grove Hall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
