Hog roast for events in Holborough, slow-roasted on site
Country shows near Holborough suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. For agricultural and country shows and village fêtes, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and apple sauce for your visitors.
For events in a place like Holborough, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in Holborough stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
