Slow-roasted pork in Heads Hill
Hog roast for events in Heads Hill, slow-roasted on site
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater horse and dog shows and school events.
A fête near Heads Hill might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus

- Halal is not offered
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Summer events in Heads Hill have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Send final numbers in good time
