How our hog roast for events works in North Chailey
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for community events and agricultural and country shows.
At a field event near North Chailey, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special at a traditional fête. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in North Chailey, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
