Hog roast for events in Mayfield
Mayfield: your questions answered
Is Mayfield close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How our hog roast for events works in Mayfield
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re often booked for charity fundraisers and school events.
At a field event near Mayfield, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

PTAs at schools such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St. Dunstan, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast or other catering?
At large shows, tell us expected numbers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Mayfield is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
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 photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
