Hog roast for events in Foxcotte
About our hog roast for events in Foxcotte
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Whether it’s fun runs and sports events and vintage rallies, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Foxcotte might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Foxcotte
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late May, sunset in Foxcotte is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- 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 rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Foxcotte hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Foxcotte: your questions answered
How far is Foxcotte from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Foxcotte?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
