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:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September events in Goudhurst lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
