What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

We’re happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
Can you do a school fair?

- Space for people to queue
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A safe distance from other traders
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:

- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
