A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like South Town?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
