Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How our hog roast for events works in New Marston
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We are often asked to cater horse and dog shows and summer fêtes, with halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around New Marston are made for a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Summer events in New Marston have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
