Hog roast for events for Little Heath
How our hog roast for events works in Little Heath
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. For PTA summer fairs and fundraising events, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
Events near Little Heath are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September events in Little Heath 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.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Where does the hog roast go?

What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
