How we price a hog roast

The biggest factors are:

  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Whether you want china
  • Distance from us
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What to tell us

Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • The address or postcode
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • A photo of the cooking area

If you are comparing hog roast caterers for East Wittering, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
  • Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • Put the menu on the invitation

Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

East Wittering: your questions answered

What about windy coastal sites?

Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Can you cater after a service at St Anne?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Do you serve the food?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

How big a hog will we need?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

Do you serve the crackling?

Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.

Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?

It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

How does hog roast hire work?

We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

Full catering or machine hire?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
