How hog roast for events works in Brighton and Hove

Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We are frequently asked to cater school fairs and sports days and community days and street fairs, with crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

  1. It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
  2. We check access to the pitch and send a price.
  3. We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
  4. We serve to order through the event.
  5. Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

Looking after everyone

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.

Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

A hog roast compared with other options

Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast.

Why a hog roast works

It copes with an all-day event, carving as people arrive.

Here’s what people in Brighton and Hove most frequently book a hog roast for:

  • Tournaments and sports days
  • Agricultural and country shows
  • Food and music festivals
  • Community events

What a hog roast costs

The biggest factors are:

  • Whether you want china
  • The journey to the venue
  • Access to the cooking area
  • Menu choices and extras

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
  • The address or postcode
  • Your date and serving time

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
