What a hog roast costs

The biggest factors are:

  • Season and day of the week
  • The number of people
  • Whether you want china
  • Time on site

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we need to know

For a quick, accurate price, send us:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where the event is
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Roughly how many people

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Planning for dietary needs

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:

  • Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
  • Request gluten-free rolls if needed

You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.

Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

A hog roast compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Chinbrook

Which station is closest to Chinbrook?

Chinbrook has its own station: Grove Park station.

What if our house in Chinbrook has no side access?

Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.

Can we add a second roast?

Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.

How long does the roast need?

Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Who serves?

You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

How big a hog will we need?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.

Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?

The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.

What about coeliacs?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.

How it works

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At a December wedding in Chinbrook, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
  3. We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
  4. We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear away once everyone has eaten.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
  • Gather dietary requirements early

DIY versus a catered hog roast

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Space, access and the venue

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:

  • Step-free access for our equipment
  • A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
  • Lighting for evening service

Chinbrook is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

  • Vegan option (Ve)
  • Hog roast rolls
  • New potatoes
  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Salads
  • Spit-roast lamb
  • Roast or jacket potatoes
