Hog roast for events near Key's Green
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Whether it’s community days and street fairs and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
At a field event near Key's Green, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September events in Key's Green lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you are 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.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
