How our hog roast for events works in Three Chimneys
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We’re frequently asked to cater small festivals and village fêtes, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
A fête near Three Chimneys might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Three Chimneys are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- 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
