Slow-roasted pork in Fir Toll
Hog roast for events near Fir Toll
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We’re often asked to cater car and steam shows and fun runs and sports events, serving halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
Near Fir Toll, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Add coleslaw.
Why choose a hog roast in Fir Toll?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Fir Toll hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Served at the time you choose
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Fir Toll are dark by about 3:50pm, 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 serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
