Hog roast for events in Throwley Forstal, carved to order
At a fête, fair or festival in Throwley Forstal, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, so visitors get hot food fast. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for car and steam shows and community events.
Near Throwley Forstal, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Throwley Forstal stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
