Hog roast for events for North End
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How our hog roast for events works in North End
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We’re frequently asked to cater school events and charity fundraisers, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
In North End, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

At midsummer, events in North End stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
