Hog roast for events in Lower Green
Hog roast for events in Lower Green, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Lower Green. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We’re frequently asked to cater festivals and community days and street fairs, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
At a field event near Lower Green, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Lower Green: your questions answered
Is Lower Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us

- Balance the food line-up
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
