Hog roast for events in Egypt, carved to order
Agricultural shows and country events near Egypt are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Whether it’s community events and school events, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Near Egypt, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.

- Space for people to queue
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Egypt questions
Can you come to a school fair in Egypt?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What’s the nearest station to Egypt?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
What do people get?

Can you cater in Egypt?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Egypt and Slough. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-May events in Egypt have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
