About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Which station is closest to Bishop's Green?

Do you trade at school fairs around Bishop's Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.

Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
