About our hog roast for events in Elvetham Heath
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Elvetham Heath. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. We serve apple sauce, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater club events and small festivals.
In Elvetham Heath, one popular trader keeps it simple. A hog roast does that. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Elvetham Heath questions
Could you cook in The Views Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Elvetham Heath?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. At midsummer, events in Elvetham Heath stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your visitors
