About our hog roast for events in Badger Farm
Charity fundraisers in Badger Farm can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. We are frequently asked to cater car shows and rallies and PTA summer fairs, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Badger Farm are made for a hog roast. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer events in Badger Farm have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Running an event in Badger Farm

An event in St. Cross Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council. Church fêtes, at churches such as Saint Luke, are a natural home for a hog roast.
For events in SO22 and SO23, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Fox Lane, Hubert Road and Edward Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- A firm way on and off the field
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
