What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. By late September, sunset in Ivychurch is about 7:00pm; by December it’s about 3:50pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Ivychurch
What’s the nearest station to Ivychurch?

Is Ivychurch close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
