About our hog roast for events in Crockerhill
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. For PTA summer fairs and church and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce and more.
At a field event near Crockerhill, 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 the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-September events in Crockerhill lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
