Hog roast for events in Tattenham Corner
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose

What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Halal is not offered
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
