Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
