Hog roast for events in Hill Brow
About our hog roast for events in Hill Brow
Country shows near Hill Brow suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. For club events and vintage rallies, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Near Hill Brow, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, Hill Brow is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
