How our hog roast for events works in Simpson
Country shows near Simpson suit a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. We serve halloumi skewers, crackling and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for town and village days and horse and dog shows.
Near Simpson, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an autumn event in Simpson, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
Send us the date, the address or MK6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Who books hog roast for events in Simpson?
