A hog roast near Snargate
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Hog roast for events in Snargate, carved to order
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. For club events and fundraising events, we will put together a menu of crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls and more.
A fête near Snargate might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- Plan separately for halal if needed
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

How we price a hog roast for your event
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear

Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September events in Snargate lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.

Before we arrive
