Slow-roasted pork in Leckford
Hog roast for events near Leckford
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for tournaments and sports days and church and village fêtes.
A fête near Leckford might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
We serve as the queue moves.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

When you enquire, please mention:
- The date and time of the event

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Can you do a hog roast in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest options.
Do you have documents for event organisers?

Will there be enough to go round?

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
