Hog roast for events near Braishfield
At a fête, fair or festival in Braishfield, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for festivals and school fairs and sports days.
At a field event near Braishfield, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For big events, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Braishfield stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

We clear the pitch and take everything away.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
