What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to St Mary Hoo
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

St Mary Hoo: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is St Mary Hoo from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Do you cover St Mary Hoo?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, St Mary Hoo and the rest of Medway included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In St Mary Hoo, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
