A hog roast near Langley Common
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Hog roast for events in Langley Common, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Whether it is charity fundraisers and PTA summer fairs, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Langley Common, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in Langley Common stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
