What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Great Burgh questions
Can you do a hog roast in Merland Rise Recreational Ground?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Great Burgh?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Make the stall easy to find
We serve as the queue moves.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
