How we price a hog roast for your event
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Late-September events in Stoke Charity lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
