Hog roast for events in Hundred Acres, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater country shows and town and village days.
For a village fête or field event near Hundred Acres, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We serve as the queue moves.
Chicken widens the choice.
Where the roaster can go in Hundred Acres

- A level pitch with firm ground

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer events in Hundred Acres have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
