Hog roast for events in Baughurst
How our hog roast for events works in Baughurst
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Baughurst attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. We’re often asked to cater church and village fêtes and charity fundraisers, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Baughurst, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Space for people to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
