A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How our hog roast for events works in Fishbourne
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater car shows and rallies and charity fundraisers.
At a field event near Fishbourne, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

Can you come to a school fair in Fishbourne?

Do you come out to small places like Fishbourne?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO33 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September events in Fishbourne lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
