Hog roast for events near Oxshott
Agricultural shows and country events near Oxshott are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for community events and charity fundraisers.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Common questions in Oxshott
Is Oxshott close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Oxshott?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What will our event need from you?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we will respond.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, Oxshott is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
