How we price a hog roast for your event
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
