What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
FAQs for Nackington
Do you come out to small places like Nackington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
