Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you

What affects the price in Northbrook
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, events in Northbrook stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, 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 serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Do you trade at school fairs around Northbrook?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.

Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
