Hog roast for events in Horsebridge, carved to order

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, events in Horsebridge stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan visitors can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
