Hog roast for events near Durlock
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. Typical bookings include charity days and town and village days, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Durlock might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What affects the price in Durlock
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, events in Durlock stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
