How our hog roast for events works in Church Town
Agricultural shows and country events near Church Town are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. For car and steam shows and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
Near Church Town, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, Church Town is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
