Hog roast for events in High Hurstwood
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For an autumn event in High Hurstwood, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
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.
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.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
