Hog roast for events in Golden Cross, carved to order
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. Whether it’s church and village fêtes and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
At a field event near Golden Cross, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We serve as the queue moves.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Summer events in Golden Cross have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
