Rotisserie chicken

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Balance the food line-up
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
For event organisers in Langley Vale
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.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- Space for people to queue
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For an autumn event in Langley Vale, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- 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
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access
