A hog roast near Firgo
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late May, sunset in Firgo is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What affects the price in Firgo
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Common questions in Firgo
Is Firgo too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Firgo?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
