Hog roast for events near Silverhill
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for small festivals and community events.
Summer fairs around Silverhill are frequently run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

Common questions in Silverhill
Can you do a hog roast in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Silverhill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Silverhill, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, 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.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
