Hog roast for events in Lewknor, slow-roasted on site

Rural events near Lewknor can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What else we do in Lewknor
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-May events in Lewknor have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
Get a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level pitch
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
A hog roast or other catering?
At large shows, tell us expected numbers. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Lewknor
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Common questions in Lewknor
Can you come to a school fair in Lewknor?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
