Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which normally keeps the cost down. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What affects the price in Sheet
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
