Hog roast for events in Normandy
How our hog roast for events works in Normandy
At a fête, fair or festival in Normandy, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We are often asked to cater club events and horse and dog shows, with hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Normandy, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In late May, sunset in Normandy is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Questions from Normandy
Is Normandy too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you trade at school fairs around Normandy?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
