Hog roast for events for Fenn Street
How our hog roast for events works in Fenn Street
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For charity days and small festivals, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Rural events near Fenn Street can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Fenn Street are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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 down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
