At a fête or show near Horton Kirby, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
If you’re comparing hog roast caterers for Horton Kirby, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-May events in Horton Kirby have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
