How our hog roast for events works in Ewshot
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater church and village fêtes and community days and street fairs.
At a fête or show near Ewshot, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Ewshot: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Basingbourne Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Ewshot?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
