How the day works

Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Stratfield Saye, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Questions to ask before you book a hog roast

Should I cook it myself?

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.

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. 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 a hog roast costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

How long the roast and service take
Access to the cooking area
Crockery choices
Menu choices and extras

For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Getting an accurate quote

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Dietary requirements
The date and time of the event
The address or postcode

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Stratfield Saye

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Put the menu on the invitation
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled

We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.

A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
