Slow-roasted pork in Bray
Hog roast for events in Bray, slow-roasted on site
At a fête, fair or festival in Bray, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. For car and steam shows and charity days, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
At a field event near Bray, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Summer events in Bray have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
