Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Lake End
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Planned to your running order
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
