Hog roast for events in Hurst Green, slow-roasted on site
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We are frequently asked to cater club events and agricultural and country shows, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
At a field event near Hurst Green, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-September events in Hurst Green lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
