Hog roast for events in Aldworth
Hog roast for events in Aldworth, carved to order
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater school events and church and village fêtes.
At a field event near Aldworth, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, events in Aldworth stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Let us know about tight access

Planning help
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking 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.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

- Travel to Aldworth
- Time on site
