About our hog roast for events in Wickham Heath
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Whether it’s small festivals and church and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage for your visitors.
A fête near Wickham Heath might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. In late May, sunset in Wickham Heath is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning the cooking spot

A hog roast or other catering?
For big events, tell us expected numbers. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
