A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Hog roast for events in Marsh Baldon, slow-roasted on site
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day. For PTA summer fairs and food and music festivals, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
A fête near Marsh Baldon might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, events in Marsh Baldon stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
