Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- Numbers
- Plates or china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
