About our hog roast for events in Highbrook
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and vintage rallies.
A fête near Highbrook might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Highbrook are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
