How our hog roast for events works in Halfway Houses
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re often booked for club events and summer fêtes.
Events near Halfway Houses are often volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in Halfway Houses stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
