Hog roast for events in Murcott
How our hog roast for events works in Murcott
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We are often asked to cater agricultural and country shows and summer fêtes, with apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
For a village fête or field event near Murcott, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

A hog roast or other catering?

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A level pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Show allergens at the stall
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
