What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Questions from Broomfield
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Broomfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
