Hog roast for events in Crayford, slow-roasted on site
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. Typical bookings include country shows and school fairs and sports days, serving hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
For events in a place like Crayford, 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, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in Crayford lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
