For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
