Hog roast for events for Rushmoor
How our hog roast for events works in Rushmoor
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Rushmoor. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include vintage rallies and country shows, with hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
Rural events near Rushmoor can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
For event organisers in Rushmoor
If you’re 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’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

How we price a hog roast for your event
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
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, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
FAQs for Rushmoor
Is Rushmoor close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A firm way on and off the field
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late May, sunset in Rushmoor is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

Getting ready for the day
