About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Balance the food line-up
- Halal is not offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Chicken widens the choice.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for people to queue
- Details of what the event requires
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Summer events in Brookside have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
