Hog roast for events in Britwell, carved to order
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. Typical bookings include car and steam shows and tournaments and sports days, serving halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken.
For events in a place like Britwell, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Name an organiser to meet us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
