Hog roast for events in Wickham, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater town and village days and summer fêtes.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Wickham are made for a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A level pitch
- A firm way on and off the field
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Wickham are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
