How our hog roast for events works in Hartfield
Charity fundraisers in Hartfield can use a hog roast to draw people in. We’ll talk through options with you. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for community days and street fairs and fun runs and sports events.
A fête near Hartfield might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, events in Hartfield stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day

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 typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
