About our hog roast for events in Bircholt Forstal
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. We’re frequently asked to cater club events and fundraising events, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a village fête or field event near Bircholt Forstal, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from other traders
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Details of what the event requires
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How we price a hog roast for your event
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to volunteers cooking, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
