Hog roast for events near Church Whitfield
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and food and music festivals.
A fête near Church Whitfield might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Church Whitfield are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
