About our hog roast for events in Ewelme
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We serve hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and car shows and rallies.
At a field event near Ewelme, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
What happens on the day

Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
