What affects the price in Printstile
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
