A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Forty Green. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For community days and street fairs and fundraising events, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling for your visitors.
At a fête or show near Forty Green, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
