A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved to order by a chef

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What affects the price in Pease Pottage
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
Send us the date, the address or RH11 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening parties in Pease Pottage need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
