A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Evenings in Hindhead stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
