At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and vintage rallies.
At a fête or show near Howe Hill, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For an autumn event in Howe Hill, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
