Hog roast for events in Blendon
About our hog roast for events in Blendon
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We are frequently asked to cater church and village fêtes and school events, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In Blendon, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

- The landowner’s or council’s agreement

FAQs for Blendon
Which station is closest to Blendon?
The closest is Albany Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you come to a school fair in Blendon?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Blendon stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
