Hog roast for events in Stanwell
Hog roast for events in Stanwell, carved to order
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. For festivals and school events, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For events in a place like Stanwell, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A hog roast does that. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Your trader requirements
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. 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.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Site access
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

Stanwell questions
Is Stanwell close to London?
About 17 miles from central London.
Can you come to a school fair in Stanwell?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-September events in Stanwell lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
