Hog roast for events in Linkhill
Hog roast for events in Linkhill, carved to order
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We’re frequently asked to cater school events and fundraising events, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Linkhill might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-September events in Linkhill lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We serve as the queue moves.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Linkhill: your questions answered
How far is Linkhill from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We will work it out together.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
