Hog roast for events for Castle Green
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About our hog roast for events in Castle Green
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We’re often asked to cater agricultural and country shows and vintage rallies, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
In Castle Green, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, events in Castle Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Castle Green
Could you cook in Mayesbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Castle Green?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What affects the price in Castle Green
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station
