What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Iwade until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
