At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. Typical bookings include school fairs and sports days and festivals, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
At a field event near Linchmere, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For event organisers in Linchmere
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
