How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in Barnsole stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

How far is Barnsole from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
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.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
