Hog roast for events in Bessels Green, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for community events and church and village fêtes.
A fête near Bessels Green might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- Event approval for hot-food traders

Common questions in Bessels Green
How far is Bessels Green from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you come to Bessels Green?
Yes, Bessels Green is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll discuss the options.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
