How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Sturry: your questions answered
Could you cook in Chequer's Wood and Old Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Sturry from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you come to Sturry?
Yes, Sturry is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, Sturry is dark by about 3:50pm, 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
