Hog roast for events for Tickham
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Tickham are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Hog roast for events in Tickham, carved to order
Charity fundraisers in Tickham can use a hog roast to draw people in. We’ll talk through options with you. Typical bookings include church and village fêtes and school fairs and sports days, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a fête or show near Tickham, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

What we serve, dish by dish

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
