About our hog roast for events in Privett
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Privett. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for village fêtes and town and village days.
Near Privett, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Travel to Privett
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
