A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally 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
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers

Send us the date, the address or HP14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Other occasions in Upper North Dean
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Upper North Dean, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
