How our hog roast for events works in Trotton
At a fête, fair or festival in Trotton, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re often booked for agricultural and country shows and fundraising events.
Near Trotton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your trader requirements
- A safe distance from other traders
- A level pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Trotton
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Trotton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-May events in Trotton have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- 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

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
