How our hog roast for events works in Birch Hill
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Typical bookings include festivals and fundraising events, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
Around Birch Hill, a fête or summer fair suits a hog roast. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Birch Hill
Is Birch Hill close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school fairs around Birch Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
