Hog roast for events near Farley Green
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Popular choices include apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for fun runs and sports events and village fêtes.
At a field event near Farley Green, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
