What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in St Peter's is around 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
