Hog roast for events near Walliswood
Agricultural shows and country events near Walliswood are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater country shows and car and steam shows.
For a village fête or field event near Walliswood, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Walliswood are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What’s the nearest station to Walliswood?
The closest is Ockley station, roughly 3.1 miles away.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.

Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
