Hog roast for events in Russ Hill, slow-roasted on site
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater festivals and community days and street fairs.
For a village fête or field event near Russ Hill, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Show allergens at the stall
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
FAQs for Russ Hill
Can you come to a school fair in Russ Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Russ Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Russ Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Russ Hill and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you come to our fête?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
