Hog roast for events in Lingfield, slow-roasted on site
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. Typical bookings include church and village fêtes and country shows, with halloumi skewers, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
Events near Lingfield are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Lingfield have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
