Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and vintage rallies.
A fête near Moortown might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In late May, sunset in Moortown is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- 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 up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
