Hog roast for events in Holyport, carved to order
Agricultural shows and country events near Holyport are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. We’re frequently asked to cater charity days and school fairs and sports days, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
At a field event near Holyport, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Summer events in Holyport have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
