About our hog roast for events in Hammerpot
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for vintage rallies and church and village fêtes.
At a fête or show near Hammerpot, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Summer events in Hammerpot have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are 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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
