Hog roast for events in Ansteadbrook
About our hog roast for events in Ansteadbrook
Country shows near Ansteadbrook suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. We’re frequently asked to cater tournaments and sports days and horse and dog shows, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Ansteadbrook, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in Ansteadbrook stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
