The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.

Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

- Parking near the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in West Byfleet until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
