Hog roast for events for Caterham
About our hog roast for events in Caterham
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Caterham. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater festivals and school events.
In Caterham, a good food stall can make an event. Roast pork rolls are a reliable draw. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
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.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.

For event organisers in Caterham

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
