What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Hook
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
