Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Make the stall easy to find
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In late May, sunset in Furzedown is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
