Hog roast for events for Speedwell
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Speedwell are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your visitors

How our hog roast for events works in Speedwell
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Speedwell attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we will suggest how it could work. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for car and steam shows and church and village fêtes.
A fête near Speedwell might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
A hog roast compared with other options
At large shows, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

- Stuffing normally contains gluten

- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Add coleslaw.
What affects the price in Speedwell
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
