How we price a hog roast
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What happens on the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Westridge questions
Is Westridge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
