Hog roast for events in Roffey
How our hog roast for events works in Roffey
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re often booked for school events and community days and street fairs.
Events near Roffey are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer events in Roffey have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
