Slow-roasted pork in Donkey Town
How our hog roast for events works in Donkey Town
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours. We are often asked to cater horse and dog shows and village fêtes, serving hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Donkey Town, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Late-September events in Donkey Town lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
