What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Stuffing normally contains gluten

- Make the stall easy to find
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. At midsummer, events in Keston stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Hayes (Kent) station, about 1.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
- Event approval for hot-food traders
As a London location, Keston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
