What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX25 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
