Hog roast for events in Yopps Green, carved to order
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Yopps Green attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. We are often asked to cater summer fêtes and tournaments and sports days, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN15 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Yopps Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.

- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
