Hog roast for events in Monkhams, slow-roasted on site
At a fête, fair or festival in Monkhams, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for summer fêtes and festivals.
In Monkhams, street events mean planning closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Plates or china
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
For event organisers in Monkhams
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Monkhams are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.

- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Signpost the stall clearly
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
