About our hog roast for events in Woodham
Agricultural shows and country events near Woodham are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and agricultural and country shows.
Around Woodham, a fête or summer fair suits a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, events in Woodham stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
