Hog roast for events near Mowshurst
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater vintage rallies and town and village days.
At a field event near Mowshurst, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- A safe distance from other traders

How it works

Why choose a hog roast in Mowshurst?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
Take a look at our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
