How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Albourne Green
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Around midsummer it stays light in Albourne Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Albourne Green?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Your questions about a hog roast in Albourne Green
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Albourne Green close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to Albourne Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Albourne Green and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
