How we price a hog roast for your party
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers

What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode

- Rules from the venue or landowner

Send us the date, the address or BN18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why choose a hog roast in Fontwell?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
