Hog roast for events in Towersey, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and horse and dog shows.
A fête near Towersey might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. At midsummer, events in Towersey stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
