Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September events in Shoreditch lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price
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.
