How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in West Farleigh are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

How our hog roast for events works in West Farleigh
Charity fundraisers in West Farleigh can use a hog roast to draw people in. We will talk through options with you. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity days and vintage rallies.
At a fête or show near West Farleigh, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. 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.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
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.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Planners, venues and businesses

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
