How we price a hog roast for your party
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

For event organisers in Runcton
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Neighbours warned about the smell

- Parking close to the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Runcton, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
