How our hog roast for events works in Hassell Street
School fairs and sports days need food that families like. There are options for most visitors. We’re frequently asked to cater school events and small festivals, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling.
A fête near Hassell Street might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Summer events in Hassell Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
