Looking after everyone
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal is not offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We serve as the queue moves.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
How our hog roast for events works in Crown Wood
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We are often asked to cater charity fundraisers and country shows, serving apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Summer fairs around Crown Wood are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Crown Wood are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
