Hog roast for events for Gay Street
About our hog roast for events in Gay Street
At a fête, fair or festival in Gay Street, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. We’re often asked to cater charity days and country shows, serving apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Gay Street, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your trader requirements
- A queuing area
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, 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
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
See our prices page and the cost guide.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-May events in Gay Street have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
