About our hog roast for events in Grimsbury
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for horse and dog shows and village fêtes.
For events in a place like Grimsbury, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Summer events in Grimsbury have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
