At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. We are frequently asked to cater horse and dog shows and charity days, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
A fête near South Wonston might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A level pitch
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
