How our hog roast for events works in Ewhurst
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We are frequently asked to cater fun runs and sports events and charity days, with hog roast rolls, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
At a fête or show near Ewhurst, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- 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.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late-September events in Ewhurst lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
