Slow-roasted pork in Birtley Green
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. 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, especially outdoors.
Hog roast for events near Birtley Green
At a fête, fair or festival in Birtley Green, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. We’re frequently asked to cater PTA summer fairs and car shows and rallies, with a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Rural events near Birtley Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
