- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
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.
Getting an accurate quote

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Hog roast for events in Exton, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Whether it’s community days and street fairs and club events, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
Rural events near Exton can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Exton, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
