How our hog roast for events works in Hickmans Green
Village fêtes around Hickmans Green suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for car and steam shows and school fairs and sports days.
A fête near Hickmans Green might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A queuing area
- Details of what the event requires
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

FAQs for Hickmans Green
Do you come out to small places like Hickmans Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
