How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
Give us a contact on the day.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Cowesfield Gate stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
