About our hog roast for events in Horseport
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Horseport. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For charity days and town and village days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a field event near Horseport, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.

Horseport: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Horseport?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Horseport too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
