What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Greenwich
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Greenwich
Do you trade at school fairs around Greenwich?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast in Island Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Contact us.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, Greenwich is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
