What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
FAQs for Little Coxwell
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
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.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
