Hog roast for events near Carlton Hill
Village fêtes around Carlton Hill suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater church and village fêtes and charity days.
Events near Carlton Hill are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us

- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Carlton Hill
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Chicken widens the choice.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
