What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
