Hog roast for events in Wallingford, carved to order
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for agricultural and country shows and town and village days.
Events near Wallingford are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to 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.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, events in Wallingford stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Chicken widens the choice.
