A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer events in Grendon Underwood have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
