Hog roast for events for Palestine
Hog roast for events in Palestine, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Palestine. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for agricultural and country shows and village fêtes.
At a field event near Palestine, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Questions from Palestine
Which station is closest to Palestine?
Palestine has its own station: Grateley station.
Do you trade at school fairs around Palestine?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you come to our fête?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The number of people
- Travel to Palestine
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Palestine have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
