What affects the price in Maynard's Green
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Distance from us
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.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Maynard's Green hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
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.
