Slow-roasted pork in Bradley
About our hog roast for events in Bradley
Village fêtes around Bradley suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. For fundraising events and festivals, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling.
At a field event near Bradley, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Space for people to queue
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A safe distance from other traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Halloumi skewers (V)

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
