What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
