How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.

Common questions in Newington Butts
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Newington Butts?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at Metropolitan Tabernacle?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
