What else we do in Langley
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Langley: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Langley?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Contact us and we’ll see what’s possible.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What affects the price in Langley
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Summer events in Langley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Getting a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO45 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.
