What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
Send us the date, the address or RG26 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your trader requirements
- Space for people to queue
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Halal is not offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Little London: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Little London?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Is Little London too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer events in Little London have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
