Hog roast for events near Hoath
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. For car shows and rallies and club events, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Rural events near Hoath can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Hoath is about 8:45pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
