About our hog roast for events in Penton Corner
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Typical bookings include car shows and rallies and tournaments and sports days, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
A fête near Penton Corner might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

For event organisers in Penton Corner
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
