What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party. At midsummer, it is light in Bodicote until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.

Questions from Bodicote
Could you cook in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
