Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us

- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
