About our hog roast for events in Owlsmoor
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. Whether it’s car and steam shows and fun runs and sports events, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
Summer fairs around Owlsmoor are often run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Owlsmoor
How far is Owlsmoor from London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Edgbarrow Woods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power on site?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
How long does the roast need?
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.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-May events in Owlsmoor have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day

- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
