Hog roast for events near Leigh
At a fête, fair or festival in Leigh, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For club events and town and village days, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce for your visitors.
Rural events near Leigh can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How we price a hog roast for your event
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For an autumn event in Leigh, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Questions from Leigh
Can you come to a school fair in Leigh?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What’s the nearest station to Leigh?
The closest is Betchworth station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is electricity needed?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
