A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special at a traditional fête. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Perrywood
How far is Perrywood from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Perrywood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-May events in Perrywood have light until about 8:45pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Getting a price
