What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Coggins Mill until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your guests
