How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A heads-up for next door
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day

At midsummer, it is light in Southfleet until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.

- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
