Hog roast for events in Elvendon, carved to order

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, events in Elvendon stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. 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 arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your visitors

Looking after everyone
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Elvendon: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Elvendon?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
A hog roast or other catering?
For big events, tell us expected numbers, so we can plan. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Take a look at our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
