How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or GU29 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in Hoyle, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
