Hog roast for events near Longcot
Agricultural shows and country events near Longcot are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Whether it is festivals and town and village days, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
A fête near Longcot might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

What affects the price in Longcot
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, tell us expected numbers. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer events in Longcot have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Catered or do it yourself?

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
