What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue

- Crockery choices

Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September events in Palmarsh lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

A hog roast compared with other options

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Palmarsh
Can you do a hog roast in Brockhill Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Palmarsh?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
