After a christening at a church like Church of St Michael, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Thinking of a hog roast in Mount Ephraim Gardens?

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A photo of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or ME13 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
