Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

- The number of people
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.

Questions from Hatchet Green
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Hatchet Green 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.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Why choose a hog roast in Hatchet Green?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. 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.
