The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Time on site

- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
