Hog roast for events in Tudeley
How we price a hog roast for your event
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
How our hog roast for events works in Tudeley
Village fêtes around Tudeley suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. On the menu are crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for fun runs and sports events and agricultural and country shows.
At a field event near Tudeley, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In late May, sunset in Tudeley is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
