About our hog roast for events in Minley
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. Typical bookings include country shows and vintage rallies, with hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
At a field event near Minley, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, ask us about the expected crowds early. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are 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 the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
