About our hog roast for events in Cranmore
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. We are frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and fun runs and sports events, with hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
For a village fête or field event near Cranmore, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Cranmore is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
