How our hog roast for events works in Heyshott
Village fêtes around Heyshott suit a hog roast: people follow their noses, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. We are often asked to cater car and steam shows and festivals, serving halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
At a fête or show near Heyshott, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
