A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Apse Heath are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
