Hog roast for events in Pachesham Park
Hog roast for events in Pachesham Park, carved to order
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater community events and tournaments and sports days.
At a fête or show near Pachesham Park, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, events in Pachesham Park stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
Ask for a quote
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
