How our hog roast for events works in Wick Hill
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for small festivals and fundraising events.
Summer fairs around Wick Hill are often run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, events in Wick Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Getting a price
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
