How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Hinxhill are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Hog roast for events in Hinxhill, carved to order
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for small festivals and community days and street fairs.
Near Hinxhill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
What affects the price in Hinxhill
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
