About our hog roast for events in Little Portugal
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. For agricultural and country shows and vintage rallies, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
In Little Portugal, a hog roast suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Little Portugal questions
Can you come to a school fair in Little Portugal?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you cook in Larkhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Little Portugal are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
