Hog roast for events for Holybourne
Hog roast for events in Holybourne, slow-roasted on site
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. For tournaments and sports days and car shows and rallies, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and apple sauce and more.
Rural events near Holybourne can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. 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.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Holybourne are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
