Hog roast for events in Cuxton
About our hog roast for events in Cuxton
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and town and village days, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
A fête near Cuxton might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
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.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Chicken widens the choice.

What we serve, dish by dish

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Cuxton is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
