Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, Westergate is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

How we price a hog roast for your event
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Carved to order by a chef
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
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.
For event organisers in Westergate
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
