A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
