Common questions in Northway
Can you come to a school fair in Northway?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How soon do you get booked up?

Can you come to our fête?
We do. Send us the details.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
About our hog roast for events in Northway
Village fêtes around Northway suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Typical bookings include agricultural and country shows and tournaments and sports days, with crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
In Northway, one popular trader keeps it simple. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, events in Northway stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, 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 carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
