Hog roast for events near Hurtmore
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are often booked for festivals and charity days.
A fête near Hurtmore might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Hurtmore is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.

Hurtmore questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Hurtmore?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Middlebriars Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
