Hog roast for events near South Park

Around South Park, a fête or summer fair suits a hog roast. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to South Park
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in South Park
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Make the stall easy to find
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We serve as the queue moves.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in South Park stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
