A hog roast near Bashley
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

At a fête or show near Bashley, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.

Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it.

For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We set up early on the pitch.
