Slow-roasted pork in Oversland
Hog roast for events in Oversland, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. Whether it is vintage rallies and town and village days, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Oversland might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Oversland are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
