Hog roast for events in West Horsley, slow-roasted on site
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. For club events and summer fêtes, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers.
For events in a place like West Horsley, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know

- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in West Horsley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
