How our hog roast for events works in Longmoor
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. We serve crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and community days and street fairs.
Rural events near Longmoor can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

How we price a hog roast for your event
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
