How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. In late May, sunset in Wallend is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s 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.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
