Hog roast for events in Send Marsh
Hog roast for events in Send Marsh, slow-roasted on site
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater school events and festivals.
At a field event near Send Marsh, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Send Marsh: your questions answered
Could you cook in White Rose Lane?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Send Marsh?
Clandon station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Contact us.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer events in Send Marsh 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.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Halal isn’t offered
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Chicken widens the choice.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch with firm ground
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
