How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Sunnymeads questions
How far is Sunnymeads from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
Name an organiser to meet us.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For an autumn event in Sunnymeads, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.

Preparing for the day

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special at a traditional fête. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
