When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How we price a hog roast
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
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
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
