Hog roast for events in Heckfield Heath, slow-roasted on site
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We’re often asked to cater fun runs and sports events and vintage rallies, serving apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Heckfield Heath, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
