What affects the price in Frilsham
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
Name an organiser to meet us.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
