Hog roast for events in Silchester, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Silchester. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and country shows, serving rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
For a village fête or field event near Silchester, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Comparing caterers
- Staffing on the day
- How dietary needs are handled
- What the price includes, item by item
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Halal is not offered
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Silchester from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
