About our hog roast for events in Southington
Country shows near Southington suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for charity fundraisers and festivals.
At a field event near Southington, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
