Hog roast for events in Isington, slow-roasted on site
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We’re often asked to cater tournaments and sports days and school events, with a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Near Isington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For an autumn event in Isington, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
