About our hog roast for events in Halfway Street
Agricultural shows and country events near Halfway Street are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. For club events and vintage rallies, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your visitors.
A fête near Halfway Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Halfway Street are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Name a contact for the day
