If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your event
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal isn’t offered
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
