Hog roast for events in Broad Oak, slow-roasted on site
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We’re self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We’re frequently asked to cater village fêtes and fundraising events, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Broad Oak, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, events in Broad Oak stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
