What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event

Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking 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.
Perfect for your event in Bagshot
A roll needs no knife and fork, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
People around Bagshot book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Garden parties and barbecues
- Wakes
- Milestone birthdays
- Village fêtes and school fairs
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as John O'Gaunt School, can book a hog roast stall.
Before booking anyone
- A clear list of what’s included
- VAT, if it applies
- What crockery is supplied
- Who carves and who serves
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Bagshot until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
