How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For an autumn event in Great Kingshill, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Organising for someone else?

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
