How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
