- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
