Hog roast for events in Hatch Warren, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Whether it is village fêtes and festivals, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and crackling and more.
Events near Hatch Warren are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Hatch Warren hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
