Hog roast for events in Rusper, slow-roasted on site
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are often booked for small festivals and car shows and rallies.
For a village fête or field event near Rusper, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Late-September events in Rusper lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

What affects the price in Rusper
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
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.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus

- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
