How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Halal isn’t offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Mimbridge is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
