Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch
- Details of what the event requires
Fairlee is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Fairlee lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO30 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
