What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Golden-hour photos in Jenkins' Green at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
