How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A queuing area
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Pyrton
Is Pyrton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Pyrton?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-September events in Pyrton lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Make the stall easy to find
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
