A hog roast near Nash
Hog roast for events in Nash, carved to order
At a fête, fair or festival in Nash, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We’re often asked to cater tournaments and sports days and summer fêtes, with halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
A fête near Nash might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Where the roaster can go in Nash
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Space for people to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve

What comes off the roaster
Crackling

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear

- Timed around your day
- No surprises: everything in writing
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
