Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about

- A firm way on and off the field
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
