Slow-roasted pork in Ellesborough
Catered or do it yourself?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Hog roast for events near Ellesborough
At a fête, fair or festival in Ellesborough, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include fun runs and sports events and community events, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Ellesborough, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer events in Ellesborough have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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 tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
