Hog roast for events in Ashley Heath
About our hog roast for events in Ashley Heath
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for small festivals and charity fundraisers.
In Ashley Heath, one popular trader keeps it simple. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space for people to queue
- A safe distance from other traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In December, Ashley Heath is dark by about 4:05pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
