Hog roast for events for Highstreet
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Hog roast for events near Highstreet
For a school fair, you want food families will queue for. There are options for most visitors. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re frequently booked for fun runs and sports events and charity fundraisers.
At a fête or show near Highstreet, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Summer events in Highstreet have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
