About our hog roast for events in Keeper's Corner
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Typical bookings include community days and street fairs and school fairs and sports days, with halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
A fête near Keeper's Corner might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

- Halal is not offered

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear

What affects the price in Keeper's Corner
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September events in Keeper's Corner lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
