How our hog roast for events works in Upper Wield
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Whether it is country shows and town and village days, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Upper Wield, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What affects the price in Upper Wield
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Send us the date, the address or SO24 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve as the queue moves.
Chicken widens the choice.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Upper Wield lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
