- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
