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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Hog roast for events near Steel Cross

On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for agricultural and country shows and community events.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Send us the date, the address or TN6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A safe distance from other traders
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Details of what the event requires
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, Steel Cross is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
