Hog roast for events in Linton
Hog roast for events in Linton, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Linton attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we will suggest how it could work. For small festivals and fundraising events, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Linton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Chicken widens the choice.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
The process
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, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Linton stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
