What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Grazeley 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 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 down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
