How our hog roast for events works in Ash
Village fêtes around Ash suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. Whether it’s club events and small festivals, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Summer fairs around Ash are frequently run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

For event organisers in Ash
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Summer events in Ash have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price
