Slow-roasted pork in Puttenham
Hog roast for events in Puttenham, slow-roasted on site
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater church and village fêtes and charity fundraisers.
At a fête or show near Puttenham, we can cook in a field. Tell us about the ground and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September events in Puttenham lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day

Where the roaster can go in Puttenham
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

What a hog roast costs

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
