Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
How our hog roast for events works in Egerton
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Popular choices include crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and tournaments and sports days.
At a field event near Egerton, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, events in Egerton 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.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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 down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
