How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Distance from us
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How our hog roast hire works in Mottisfont
People book a hog roast in Mottisfont for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. For weddings, day or evening and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and coleslaw for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Mottisfont, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
