What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for

- What the outdoor space is like

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A level pitch
- Permission for cooking on the site
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Monks Risborough stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
