Hog roast for events near Lower Froyle
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Whether it’s church and village fêtes and horse and dog shows, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near Lower Froyle might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We serve as the queue moves.

Lower Froyle questions
Which station is closest to Lower Froyle?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2 miles east of the centre.
Is Lower Froyle close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cater in Lower Froyle?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Lower Froyle and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Lower Froyle stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
