About hog roast hire in SL9
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and salads, and typical bookings are for corporate events and garden parties and barbecues.
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What it costs in SL9
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
