About our hog roast for events in Shripney
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. For country shows and community events, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls and more.
At a field event near Shripney, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Shripney
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Shripney too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

- A firm way on and off the field
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Your trader requirements
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, events in Shripney stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Halal isn’t offered
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
