What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Midhurst
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Light matters for a long roast: around Midhurst, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Your questions about a hog roast in Midhurst
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Midhurst and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
