How our hog roast for events works in Sutton
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Popular choices include crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater fundraising events and fun runs and sports events.
At a field event near Sutton, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late May, sunset in Sutton is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
