How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Great Horwood are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why choose a hog roast in Great Horwood?
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
