How our hog roast for events works in Denton
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Typical bookings include town and village days and charity fundraisers, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
At a field event near Denton, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What affects the price in Denton
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Your trader requirements
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
