A hog roast compared with other options
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Quarley are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Gather dietary requirements early
