Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Travel to Sandleheath
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
