How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. In Finchampstead, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Distance from us
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Finchampstead hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
