What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)

- New potatoes
Lunsford's Cross: your questions answered
Is Lunsford's Cross close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Highwoods?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
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.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
