Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in Gardeners Green stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:

- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Gardeners Green hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
