For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
How we price a hog roast for your party
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Hartfield
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
