Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Sayers Common are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
