How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices

- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Ladwell are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your visitors
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Space for people to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Roast pork
