How our hog roast for events works in Thong
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Whether it is tournaments and sports days and car and steam shows, we will put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
For a village fête or field event near Thong, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, Thong is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Getting a price

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Add coleslaw.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
