Hog roast for events in Beare Green
How our hog roast for events works in Beare Green
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Beare Green. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For country shows and school events, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
At a field event near Beare Green, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-September events in Beare Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Beare Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Beare Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Newdigate Brickworks?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
