Slow-roasted pork in North Boarhunt
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
