What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Bishop's Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
