What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Rules from the venue or landowner

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Stonegate, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.

Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
