The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Bighton stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
