Hog roast for events in Stalisfield, carved to order

Is a hog roast right for your event?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Sides to make it a full meal
- All the equipment comes with us

We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.

How we price a hog roast for your event

- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Do you do charity events?
We are happy to talk it through and we’ll see what’s possible.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space for people to queue
- A safe distance from other traders
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, events in Stalisfield stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
