About our hog roast for events in Marshborough
At a fête, fair or festival in Marshborough, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We serve hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for PTA summer fairs and church and village fêtes.
At a field event near Marshborough, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Details of what the event requires
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A queuing area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

How we price a hog roast for your event
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
For event organisers in Marshborough
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
FAQs for Marshborough

Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you provide china?

Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, events in Marshborough stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
