Hog roast for events in Peasmarsh, carved to order
Agricultural shows and country events near Peasmarsh are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Whether it is PTA summer fairs and church and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
A fête near Peasmarsh might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Peasmarsh is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
