How our hog roast for events works in Hiltingbury
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. Typical bookings include club events and charity fundraisers, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
Around Hiltingbury, a fête or summer fair suits a hog roast. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Hiltingbury
- Plates or china
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late May, sunset in Hiltingbury is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO53 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
