How we price a hog roast for your party
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Church Hougham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
