How our hog roast for events works in Walhampton
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater agricultural and country shows and town and village days.
Near Walhampton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, events in Walhampton stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What else we do in Walhampton
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your trader requirements
- Space for people to queue
- Permission for cooking on the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
