About our hog roast for events in Grove Hill
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. Pork rolls, chicken and a vegan option cover most visitors. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater car shows and rallies and country shows.
Rural events near Grove Hill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Why choose a hog roast in Grove Hill?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Grove Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly

We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.
