About our hog roast for events in Angel
Agricultural shows and country events near Angel are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and community events, serving halloumi skewers, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
Events in Angel range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch we can reach. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-September events in Angel lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

For event organisers in Angel
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Details of what the event requires
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A firm way on and off the field
Angel is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
