How our hog roast for events works in Bagshot
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We are often asked to cater town and village days and PTA summer fairs, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
For events in a place like Bagshot, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A hog roast does that. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We serve as the queue moves.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef
