How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer events in Crowborough have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level pitch
- A queuing area
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Crowborough hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
