A hog roast near Adversane
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Hog roast for events in Adversane, carved to order
Agricultural shows and country events near Adversane are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and town and village days.
At a field event near Adversane, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Summer events in Adversane have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
