Hog roast for events in Cumnor, carved to order
Country shows near Cumnor suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Popular choices include crackling, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater small festivals and tournaments and sports days.
A fête near Cumnor might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, events in Cumnor stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
