How we price a hog roast for your party
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
