About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
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, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-September events in Bartley lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Your trader requirements
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
