Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve

How our hog roast for events works in Blue Town
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. For village fêtes and fun runs and sports events, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce for your visitors.
Summer fairs around Blue Town are often run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, events in Blue Town stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
