Hog roast for events in Hedgerley, slow-roasted on site
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Whether it’s car shows and rallies and festivals, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
A fête near Hedgerley might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Hedgerley
Can you come to a school fair in Hedgerley?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Hedgerley?
The closest is Gerrards Cross station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
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. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

What else we do in Hedgerley
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Hedgerley is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
