Hog roast for events near Eversley Centre
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We are frequently asked to cater tournaments and sports days and car shows and rallies, with crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
Near Eversley Centre, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Permission for cooking on the site
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
