Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
