What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an evening party in Stone, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a 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
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Stone
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Stone too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-pork option?

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
