Hog roast for events near Little Wittenham
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. Whether it’s school fairs and sports days and charity days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls and more.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
