About our hog roast for events in Hazeley
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Popular choices include apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater community days and street fairs and school events.
A fête near Hazeley might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an autumn event in Hazeley, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.

Common questions in Hazeley
Is Hazeley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hazeley from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is electricity needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Contact us.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
