How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO21 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in South Bersted, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
