About our hog roast for events in Grubb Street
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re frequently booked for food and music festivals and fundraising events.
Rural events near Grubb Street can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A queuing area
- A level pitch
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
