About our hog roast for events in Bailey's Hard
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling, and typical bookings are for agricultural and country shows and food and music festivals.
A fête near Bailey's Hard might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
