Slow-roasted pork in Epwell
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Hog roast for events in Epwell, carved to order
Charity fundraisers in Epwell can use a hog roast to draw people in. Tell us about the event and we will suggest how it could work. Whether it is summer fêtes and club events, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
At a field event near Epwell, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Epwell: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Epwell?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
