Agricultural shows and country events near Catherington are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Typical bookings include small festivals and PTA summer fairs, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling.
For a village fête or field event near Catherington, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-September events in Catherington lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
