About our hog roast for events in Hannington
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. On the menu are crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for school events and fundraising events.
Rural events near Hannington can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Summer events in Hannington 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. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your visitors
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
