About our hog roast for events in Hardwick
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Popular choices include apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater town and village days and small festivals.
A fête near Hardwick might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer events in Hardwick have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Hardwick: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hardwick?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hardwick close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you need power on site?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Contact us.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Should I cook it myself?
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 go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
