Hog roast for events in Fox, carved to order
Country shows near Fox suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re frequently booked for festivals and community events.
For a village fête or field event near Fox, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Fox stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
