If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in North Heath are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
