What else we do in Mayes Green
How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Mayes Green
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In late May, sunset in Mayes Green is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
