Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Plan separately for halal if needed
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Hog roast for events in Underhill, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater community days and street fairs and tournaments and sports days.
Events in Underhill range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In late May, sunset in Underhill is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- A firm way on and off the field
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
As a London location, Underhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
