Other occasions in Hillway
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in Hillway stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, ask us about the expected crowds early. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
