How our hog roast for events works in Abinger Hammer
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Abinger Hammer. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are frequently booked for country shows and car shows and rallies.
A fête near Abinger Hammer might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Where the roaster can go in Abinger Hammer
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A level pitch with firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Summer events in Abinger Hammer 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.
