Hog roast for events in Seaview
Seaview: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Seaview?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an autumn event in Seaview, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
