How our hog roast for events works in Quidhampton
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Quidhampton. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Typical bookings include vintage rallies and church and village fêtes, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near Quidhampton might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level pitch
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.

To check the date and the space, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
