What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. For an autumn event in Lidsey, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.

Planning help
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
