How our hog roast for events works in Hungerford
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We’re frequently asked to cater agricultural and country shows and PTA summer fairs, with apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers.
For a village fête or field event near Hungerford, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Hungerford are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About the food

Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
