Planning help
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Site access
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. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Halal isn’t offered
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
