About our hog roast for events in Padworth
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day. We are often asked to cater fun runs and sports events and car shows and rallies, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Padworth might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A queuing area
- Details of what the event requires
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Padworth questions
How far is Padworth from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Padworth is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
