Hog roast for events in Upper Hartfield, carved to order
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and horse and dog shows.
A fête near Upper Hartfield might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Common questions in Upper Hartfield
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Upper Hartfield close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-September events in Upper Hartfield lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
