When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-May events in West Hougham have light until about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

How we price a hog roast for your event
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
