Hog roast for events in Mount Pleasant
About our hog roast for events in Mount Pleasant
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Mount Pleasant attract visitors. We’ll talk through options with you. On the menu are crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity days and small festivals.
At a fête or show near Mount Pleasant, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Common questions in Mount Pleasant
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater in Mount Pleasant?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works

Summer events in Mount Pleasant have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
