DIY versus a catered hog roast

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
