How our hog roast for events works in Afton
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Whether it’s fun runs and sports events and agricultural and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce and more.
A fête near Afton might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Common questions in Afton

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

We do. Check vehicle access with the school.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space for people to queue
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A level pitch
Afton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Timed around your day
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
