How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset in Udimore is about 7:00pm; by December it’s about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Udimore: your questions answered
Is Udimore too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Udimore close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
