What affects the price in Nursling
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
