Hog roast for events in Crowell
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September events in Crowell lose the light at about 7:05pm, 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 tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early

For summer fêtes and community days and street fairs, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a field event near Crowell, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
