Hog roast for events in Epsom
Hog roast for events near Epsom
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Whether it is car shows and rallies and agricultural and country shows, we can cook crackling, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
A town like Epsom has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A hog roast suits all of them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Epsom is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Send final numbers in good time

Do you trade at school fairs around Epsom?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How far is Epsom from London?
Roughly 14 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
We serve as the queue moves.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.

- A safe distance from other traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For anyone arriving by train, Epsom has its own station, Epsom station. Events in parks such as Epsom Common need permission from the council or landowner for cooking and vehicles. Within about 6 miles is the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
We cover events in every part of KT19, KT18 and KT17 and the streets around it. Whether your event is on High Street, Upper High Street and Church Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there.

What affects the price in Epsom

- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

To get the best quote, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
