Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In late May, sunset in East Lockinge is about 9:00pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
