What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Questions from Flemings
Is Flemings close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Flemings too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Flemings, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
