Hog roast for events in Langley, carved to order
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. Typical bookings include charity days and small festivals, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
For events in a place like Langley, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Common questions in Langley
Could you cook in Ditton Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Langley?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Langley lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
