Hog roast for events in Mockbeggar, carved to order
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We’re frequently asked to cater festivals and car shows and rallies, with hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Rural events near Mockbeggar can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Late-September events in Mockbeggar 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 serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re 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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do charity events?
Contact us and we’ll see what’s possible.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.

Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
