Hog roast for events in The Haven
About our hog roast for events in The Haven
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for vintage rallies and country shows.
At a field event near The Haven, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
A hog roast compared with other options
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Late-September events in The Haven lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
