How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, events in West Itchenor stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
