Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote

How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Cliffe Woods: your questions answered
Is Cliffe Woods close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Cliffe Woods too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is it just pork?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
