How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an autumn event in Loxhill, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
