What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Woolston events: pitches and permissions
Woolston is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Woolston and the surrounding area. Woolston is one of 40 places in Southampton where we cater.
PTAs at schools such as Woolston Infant School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Mark, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Within about 7 miles is the New Forest National Park, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements. The coast is within about 2 miles of Woolston, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
For events in SO19 and SO14, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. We can cater an event on streets such as Oak Road, Lake Road and Glen Road, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. You will find Woolston on the A3025, which makes the journey straightforward.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
