Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Hog roast for events in Hyde, slow-roasted on site
Agricultural shows and country events near Hyde are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Whether it is vintage rallies and charity fundraisers, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken and more.
At a field event near Hyde, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September events in Hyde lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
