How our hog roast for events works in Sunningwell
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We’re frequently asked to cater food and music festivals and school events, serving a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
A fête near Sunningwell might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What else we do in Sunningwell
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Summer events in Sunningwell have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Questions from Sunningwell
Is Sunningwell close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Do you trade at school fairs around Sunningwell?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
At large shows, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or OX13 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
