Hog roast for events in Hernhill
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
How our hog roast for events works in Hernhill
At a fête, fair or festival in Hernhill, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. We are often asked to cater club events and food and music festivals, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
Near Hernhill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in Hernhill stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Chicken widens the choice.
