  • Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
  • Stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Balance the food line-up

We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

How we price a hog roast for your event

There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:

  • Access to the cooking area
  • The serving time and how long we are on site
  • Travel to Aperfield
  • The number of people

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Getting an accurate quote

These are the details we need:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Rough numbers
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Any venue rules

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.

The process

Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in Aperfield 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.

  1. Share the date, site and expected crowds.
  2. We agree how food will be paid for.
  3. We roast on the pitch.
  4. Carving keeps the queue moving.
  5. We clear up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Name a contact for the day
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

FAQs for Aperfield

Do you trade at school fairs around Aperfield?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Do you do fêtes?

A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.

Can you work around our timings?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Is crockery included?

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

When should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
