About our hog roast for events in Davington
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. On the menu are crackling, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for community events and small festivals.
Events near Davington are often volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
FAQs for Davington
How far is Davington from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Davington?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in Davington, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- Think about shelter for your visitors

What affects the price in Davington
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Halal is not offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
We serve as the queue moves.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
A hog roast compared with other options
For big events, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
