Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices

How our party hog roast works in Bay View
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. For garden parties and family reunions, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Near Bay View, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Questions from Bay View
Is Bay View too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Bay View from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

About the food

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
The process
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.

A hog roast compared with other options
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
