What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Warden, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
