How our hog roast for events works in Akeley
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Akeley. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Whether it’s country shows and food and music festivals, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Rural events near Akeley can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How we price a hog roast for your event
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
If your event has a theme, tell us.

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Akeley are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.

- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
