A hog roast near Leadingcross Green
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Leadingcross Green are dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

About our hog roast for events in Leadingcross Green
At a fête, fair or festival in Leadingcross Green, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, keeping the queue moving. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater car and steam shows and school fairs and sports days.
At a fête or show near Leadingcross Green, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
