About our hog roast for events in Ringwould
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and vintage rallies.
A fête near Ringwould might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Why choose a hog roast in Ringwould?
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
