Hog roast for events for Crowdhill
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Halal is not offered
- Show allergens at the stall
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How our hog roast for events works in Crowdhill
At a fête, fair or festival in Crowdhill, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For village fêtes and town and village days, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
A fête near Crowdhill might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Crowdhill hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
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 to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
