Slow-roasted pork in Blackfen
How our hog roast for events works in Blackfen
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We’re often asked to cater charity fundraisers and school events, serving apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
In Blackfen, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or DA15 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-May events in Blackfen have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
