Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or HP27 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A queuing area
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Permission for cooking on the site
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Summer events in Askett have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
