How our hog roast for events works in Frostlane
Country shows near Frostlane suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. For car and steam shows and horse and dog shows, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a village fête or field event near Frostlane, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-May events in Frostlane have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
