Hog roast for events in Heathfield, 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’re often asked to cater village fêtes and community events, with a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
Events near Heathfield are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, Heathfield is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- 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.
How to prepare

Heathfield questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Heathfield close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
