How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
FAQs for Little London
Can you come to a school fair in Little London?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Little London from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Can you come to our fête?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
