Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Hartfordbridge
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late May, sunset in Hartfordbridge is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
