How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.

What to look for in a quote
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- If the price includes VAT
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Allergen information for every dish
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
