Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner

Catered or do it yourself?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
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.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll 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. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
