How we price a hog roast for your party
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Travel to Drayton
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Timed around your day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Questions from Drayton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?

We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
