Slow-roasted pork in Wotton
Hog roast for events in Wotton, slow-roasted on site
At a fête, fair or festival in Wotton, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Whether it is summer fêtes and fun runs and sports events, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce for your visitors.
A fête near Wotton might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What affects the price in Wotton
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Occasions we serve in Wotton
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan options too.

Gomshall station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Is Wotton close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.

Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest options.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Step by step

Summer events in Wotton 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.
