How our hog roast for events works in Old Alresford
Village fêtes around Old Alresford suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. We are often asked to cater festivals and vintage rallies, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Old Alresford, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space for people to queue
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A vehicle route onto the pitch

- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
