Book a hog roast in Hilden Park
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-May events in Hilden Park have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Working with your venue

Questions from Hilden Park
Could you cook in Haysden Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Hilden Park?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Contact us.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
