About our hog roast for events in Kingsmead
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day. Whether it’s school events and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
At a field event near Kingsmead, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
For event organisers in Kingsmead
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

A hog roast or other catering?

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September events in Kingsmead lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
