Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Mogador
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Space for people to queue
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
