Hog roast for events for Cootham

Working with your venue

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

A hog roast or other catering?

Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

  • No surprises: everything in writing

Diets, allergies and alternatives

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Show allergens at the stall
  • Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
  • Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
  • Plan separately for halal if needed

We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.

Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

Should I cook it myself?

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

About the food

Roast pork

We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.

Rotisserie chicken

For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:

  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • Menu choices and extras
  • The number of people
  • Distance from us

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. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

What happens on the day

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September events in Cootham lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.

  1. It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
  2. We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
  3. On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
  4. We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
  5. Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Think about shelter for your visitors
  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
