Hog roast for events in Whitsbury, slow-roasted on site
Agricultural shows and country events near Whitsbury are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. We are often asked to cater small festivals and club events, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling.
At a field event near Whitsbury, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an autumn event in Whitsbury, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A queuing area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
