Book a hog roast in Wildhern
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For an autumn event in Wildhern, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

About our hog roast for events in Wildhern
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and car and steam shows.
A fête near Wildhern might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A firm way on and off the field
- A safe distance from other traders
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
