Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Common questions in Hulverstone
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Hulverstone too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater in Hulverstone?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Evenings in Hulverstone stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planners, venues and businesses
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’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to 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. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
