Slow-roasted pork in Frogham
Hog roast for events in Frogham, slow-roasted on site
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. For small festivals and community days and street fairs, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
For a village fête or field event near Frogham, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Summer events in Frogham have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

FAQs for Frogham
Is Frogham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Frogham?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
Can a hog roast raise money?
We’re happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Give us a contact on the day.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a burger van, a hog roast feels more special. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Organising for someone else?
