What affects the price in Pentonville

There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:

  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • The journey to the venue
  • How many people are eating
  • The date and time of year

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What we need to know

To get the best quote, send us:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • What the outdoor space is like

For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A hog roast compared with other options

DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Why book our hog roast in Pentonville

  • Timed around your day
  • All the equipment comes with us
  • Cooked on the day, low and slow
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.

Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
