Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
To get a quote, just 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. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
