Hog roast for events in Lightwater
How our hog roast for events works in Lightwater
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for school events and agricultural and country shows.
For events in a place like Lightwater, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
