Hog roast for events in High Halden, carved to order
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in High Halden attract visitors. We’ll talk through options with you. We’re often asked to cater car shows and rallies and fun runs and sports events, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling.
At a fête or show near High Halden, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in High Halden is about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request

If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
