Hog roast for events near Tiptoe
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Tiptoe. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. Typical bookings include fun runs and sports events and church and village fêtes, serving hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
For a village fête or field event near Tiptoe, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-May events in Tiptoe have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.

- 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.

FAQs for Tiptoe
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast near the sea around Tiptoe?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll talk it through.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
A hog roast or other catering?
