About our hog roast for events in Middle Stoke
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Middle Stoke. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and fun runs and sports events.
Near Middle Stoke, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Middle Stoke: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Middle Stoke?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Is Middle Stoke 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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will tell you what we can send.
What affects the price in Middle Stoke
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or ME3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
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. Late-September events in Middle Stoke lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

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.
