Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Inner Avenue hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved to order by a chef
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Inner Avenue
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- The address or postcode

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-May events in Inner Avenue have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day
