Hog roast for events in Kimpton, carved to order
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We are often asked to cater agricultural and country shows and fun runs and sports events, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
At a fête or show near Kimpton, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us

Common questions in Kimpton

Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Kimpton?
Grateley station, about 3.9 miles south of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
